Industrial links

We are keen to foster industrial links, as is clear from the large number of industrial collaborations already in place.

Research and Development Opportunities

We have a wide range of expertise that is available to industrial partners through consultancy. Additionally, we are keen to participate in more long term collaborations through schemes such as Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTP), research council funded collaborations (eg EPSRC, BBSRC, NERC), such as CASE awards, European Union Funding and contract research.

We have an extensive range of analytical services, including the more specialised services of solid-state NMR, CHN analysis, powder diffraction, ICP, AA, mass spectrometry, GC, HPLC and SNIFTIRS. For a more detailed list of our analytical capabilities, please see our research facilities page, or contact our Chief Technician.

Training/Placement

If you are a chemical/pharmaceutical/analytical company interested in hosting an undergraduate student on an industrial placement for at least nine months, please contact us so that we can advertise these opportunities as widely as possible.

We collaborate with companies through summer student placements and masters level projects that can be carried out either here at the University or at the company.

Intensive and part-time courses are available at a range of levels to provide continuing professional development.
